Update. For those who may be getting divorced I recommend doing mediation if you and your S can get along. Even though this was our first session I left impressed with our mediator. This was a fact finding session as the mediator got all of our facts then asked us what we both wanted out of mediation.

The mediator spoke to us individually to find out what bought to want a divorce. We were given quite a bit of work to do such as finding out what debts we have,figuring out a budget and my W has to find out how much her retirement is for her current job and a previous job.

For the first time in a long time I saw my W shed some tears. I didn't ask her but I can only guess that the reality of all this hit her. As for me I have never felt better since she dropped the bomb on me. I have to say I'm looking forward to starting a new life.
